Kidding.

I ran a mile (or was it 2?) with Hop in October. The last half marathon I did was in April. Starting from scratch very soon. I think I can still do 5.

Going to do some cross training right now: Stress-testing the couch.

I'm trying to get off of 4 but it is just not happening.
If anyone is down here for the holidays and wants to run, will you pm me?
I really would like the companionship and will run faster or slower ( I'm pretty slow right now)
Thanks!

If I was there I'd run with ya. My usual route now is 6 but it' pretty hilly.

I ran 4 miles yesterday and 3 the day before. It is really cold here this morning (I'm in Texas for Christmas) but I might use the stationary bike today just to get my cardio on. I'll be back the day after Christmas and hopefully we can get together.

Merry Christmas fellow runners! I got in 5 (I think, I am going to drive it to check) this morning. Hat, gloves, tights, 3 layers of shirts and jackets! It was chilly! But, I forced myself to do this - I ate 5 pieces of toffee, 2 seven layer cookies, 1 chocolate peanut butter thing and loads of popcorn last night! I thought that was going to happen!

4 more painful miles in yesterday. By painful, I don't mean my body hurt, I mean it was painful going out the door and down the street!

2 1/2 today, but they were SLOW! It was a hilly, hilly loop, so I did some walking.

Better than nothing, I reckon!

3 yesterday and 3 the day before plus put in some surfing time so hopefully I am getting back in shape. My whole body is aching though so I'm resting today. Have a good New Years!!

Weather: foggy, humid as heck. I had to wipe my glasses several times when I ran so I could see. Also, my ipod went dead about 1/2 way through my run.

Total: 2 + miles (I know it wasn't quite 3)

Yay! Thanks Nohall, for running with me. We got in just over 4 miles! It was a little chilly this morning!

Thank YOU! It's good to be back on track again, and I was so glad you went with me!

How fast are you running? I am sure I would need to catch up with you, I am way behind in training. I will be doing the Mercedes half for the fourth time in February. I have been dealing with ankle surgery recovery and a back injury so I have not been training. I am way behind. I am sure this will be my slowest yet (my first was 2:12). I did the Seaside half last year.
I am out of town next week but will be home most of the time after that. I work from home so I have a bit of flexibility. It would be nice to know someone in the area who runs. Having just moved here last summer, I miss my Birmingham runners.

First, to SoWal!

Second, thank goodness that I'm not training with someone as "slow" as you. I couldn't do 2:12 if you pulled me on a trailer! I'll be thrilled out of my mind if I can pull off a 2:30.

I hope something works out for you with a running partner there. It really makes it easier. But if not, I'll be here to "run" with you online...

Thanks for the welcome and second that was the time from my first...pre-injury on top of injury run. I ran Seaside last year in 2:19 flat. This year I am hoping that I can finish alive in 2:30. Mercedes in Birmingham is all up hill and down hill, it makes Seaside seem like a long flat plain.
Where are you?

I did Seaside last year in 2:slowerthanyou...

I live in Northeast Georgia, which also makes Seaside seem really flat!

Got 3 miles in yesterday with my new "Run Faster Mix". Today I was a slacker - I need more motivation when it is this cold!

Is this something on the iPod, or something that goes in a blender? :funn:

Billy Idol is my sprinting partner. Kenny Loggins' "I'm Alright" is right in the pocket for me--perfect pace. George Jones and Willie Nelson "Gotta Get Drunk" is grayt for jogging...

Run Faster - my own 1.6 hour running downloads. I hope to get 2 hours and 30 minutes on my ipod before the race! I used up my iTunes card, so I have to restock. I discovered today on iTunes, that there are Sport Mixes already created by Lance Armstrong, Serena Willliams and a few others.
My first song is Let's Get It Started by the Black-eyed Peas. Serena Williams also has this as her first song. I scrolled through her mix and I liked a lot of the songs she has, so I added them!

I have Maroon 5, Chris Brown, Fergie, Kelly Clarkson, Prince, Soulja Boy and now the Clark Brothers' Gimme Shelter and more!

I ran 3 miles in this freezing cold weather today. I have been on the Cheesecake thread and am now craving Cheesecake like no tomorrow. The more active I am, the more I want to eat - dang it!

Eat to run; run to eat...

You have new & hip music. I don't think anything on my iShuffle came out after 1990!

I'm about to take my first run from the military school...pretty exciting...!

(update: 5 miles and no major injuries.)

You got 5 miles in? Good for you!

I did 4 today and my ipod went berserk! I don't know what happened but the music started skipping and then it didn't play! I'm taking it back tomorrow and getting a different one. I hope they will let me bring it back since I downloaded songs already.

Your iPod skeers me!

Until I ran with you, I had not done the run 4 min/walk 1. I had done run 1 mile/walk 1 min. I like your way--I didn't have any problem finishing 5 miles. I was kind of slow, but didn't have to walk more than the 1 minute intervals. If I had done it my way, I would have ended up walking the last mile.

I'm rully, rully excited about the half marathon now!

3 miles this morning...hills...kinda funn...

So - I try to run every day at my lunch hour (12-1) and I usually run 3-4 miles. Let me know if anyone is interested in joining Also - long runs on the weekends? Let me know! Long runs go by faster when you have company. I am also training for the Seaside 1/2. Cheers!!

Who else is doing the half? We need a SoWal party before, after and during...

Does everyone already have a SoWal shirt? I think it should be official race wear. (Or maybe a thong over the Under Armor...)
